In true Hallmark style, Autumn at Apple Hill is a sweet story that takes place in a beautiful setting with an adorable couple that fall in love. Even though the plot is predictable, the movie is fun to watch.
This movie reminds us how things change in spite of us longing to hold on to the past. Familiar stores that we grew up shopping in, close down for a variety of reasons or change ownership and are no longer the same even if they carry the same name. Businesses like restaurants, recreation areas, and locally owned motels are shuttered. In some cases, our old high school buildings are left vacate as students and classrooms are moved to a new location. Friends move away and others pass away. It is the normal cycle of life.Friday, October 25, 2024
Autumn at Apple Hill - Hallmark Movie Review
The yearning for things to stay the same often battles our own desires to move on and embrace the new, updated or improved. But, as long as we have our minds, we have our memories of the beauty in the past. The things we took for granted are the things we now appreciate. When given the opportunity to recapture a part of a cherished memory, we latch on to that treasure.
That is what this movie was about to me. Restoring the beauty of the
past so the next generation has the opportunity to make their own memories
there, while we sit back to enjoy just being there.
Autumn at Apple Hill Synopsis
Autumn at Apple HillCheck Price After her grandparents die, Elise purchases the Inn at Apple Hill, which was their home and business for her entire life. She wanted to ensure the magic of the place was maintained. Unfortunately, it costs a lot of money to keep up the required practical maintenance of an inn, especially with previously deferred things like a roof that leaks, kitchen equipment that has stopped working, and electrical wiring that has already exceeded it's life expectancy. She needs a loan from the bank to make repairs, but the bank will not give her a loan until she can show a 15% gross profit. She can't make that kind of profit when she can't rent out all of the rooms because they need repairs.
In New York, Luke is being forced to take a vacation by the CEO of his employer, who happens to be his mother. He decides he will spend this mandatory vacation in his home town of Apple Hill, where he can visit with old friends and even stay in a very special place, Inn at Apple Hill. When he arrives in Apple Hill, he is distressed to see places closed down, including his childhood favorite arcade. He is temporarily relieved to find the Inn at Apple Hill is still open, but once he starts experiencing their new reality, he is not happy with the new owner.
Sparks of anger fly between Elise and Luke, but those sparks change to a different type as the two start creatively working together to save the Inn at Apple Hill.

We may be apart, but
You Are Not Forgotten
Thanks for the recommendation. I have enjoyed many of your past recommends. I will have to try this one.
ReplyDeleteThis does sound delightful. And predictable is always fun when you know Hallmark never disappoint. And, I fully agree and appreciate your thoughts on what a treasure memories of favorite places and times are, especially as we grow older.
ReplyDeleteI can just imagine how romantic love could blossom with a shared goal of restoring a mutually beloved place (and family business) to its former cozy glory. Thanks so much for this lovely recommendation, Ms. Mouse!
ReplyDeleteThanks for another Hallmark movie recommendation. I need to get lost in something clean, positive, and wholesome - they sure have a huge catalogue of movies
ReplyDeleteThis is another Hallmark movie that I will be looking for. Sometimes predictable is just what you need and if it has lovely vistas to share along the way, even better. Sounds like a made for me movie! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThis was an enjoyable movie. The main characters have different ideas about each other's motives, but eventually come around to seeing things in a new light. It truly is one of the movies that you can set back and watch. Thanks for recommending this Cynthia Sylvestermouse. I recalled seeing the title on Review This Reviews, and immediately clicked on it when I saw it as an option on my TV.
